Average Speed Cameras Handed Over to Police Near Gisburn
What happened
Fixed, average speed cameras were installed on the A682, running from Gisburn to the Lancashire border, as part of safety measures carried out by Lancashire County Council in January 2024. These measures, which also included rumble strips and solar powered road studs, totaled around £449,000 and were funded by the Department for Transport's Safer Roads Programme. Lancashire County Council confirmed that the camera system has been handed over to Lancashire Constabulary following the completion of necessary testing and commissioning.

Why it matters
